ClickSafety launches training to help construction leaders and workers meet new OSHA respirable crystalline silica standards, maintain safer work environments
ClickSafety, a leading provider of online safety training for the construction and general industries, today announced its latest offerings, Respirable Crystalline Silica Awareness in Construction and Respirable Crystalline Silica in Construction for the Exposed Worker. This new training is designed to educate construction professionals on the newly released OSHA Respirable Crystalline Silica standard found in 29 CFR 1926.1153, and foster safer work environments.
The prevalence of silica and respirable crystalline silica dust in and around construction sites has long been known as a health hazard. OSHA estimates that the new rule regarding uses and exposure will save more than 600 lives and prevent more than 900 new cases of silicosis annually, once its effects are fully realized.
